Cedar Grove UNICO held its second annual Cigar Night to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project at the end of May. The event took place at the Cigar Emporium in Lyndhurst.

Each year, the chapter honors a veteran with a tribute and photo hung on the "Wall of Honor" at the cigar lounge. This year's event honored Marine Lance Cpl. Christopher Cosgrove III, who was 23 when he was killed by a suicide bomber in Fallujah, Iraq.

Cosgrove's father and Pat DeFrancisci served as law enforcement officers for over 20 years in the Essex County Prosecutor's Office before they each retired several years ago.

Cosgrove's father and stepmother received a three-minute standing ovation in appreciation for their son's sacrifice.
